Go to a different doctor. There is no way that you were properly treated if they couldn't give you something for effective pain management.
It's good you are seeing a gynecologist. They should be able to know how to test you or at least get you started on a series of birth control pills they can adjust to work for you. There is not just one pill out there. To say they were wrong last time is a bad reason to write them off. You will need to be patient and bear with it while they find out the proper strength and dose of birth control for you. Communicate your fears with your physician. If they don't seem like they can understand or don't care, get a new doctor because that one is not worthwhile.
And yes, if you are sexually active, and experiencing such pain a STD check would be a good idea, and if your pain is so bad, a doctor should order you to be tested.
